Iran says its airlines will keep foreign routes despite U.S. sanctions warning
Iran’s Civil Aviation Organisation confirmed that no foreign flights have been cancelled and that schedules will remain unchanged for now.
The agency stated that all international services operated by Iranian carriers are still running according to published timetables. This clarification follows a warning from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that secondary sanctions could block foreign firms that continue to work with Iranian airlines. No directive to suspend flights has been issued, and passengers will be notified if any changes occur.
Why it matters
It shows how Iran is managing airline operations while facing possible U.S. secondary sanctions.
